I don't see how this changes the discussion here. Are you suggesting
that EH insertion can be removed from the document and there would still
be value in pursuing the document?

Among the possible options is that EH-insertion is never worked out. In
which case, what's the point of basing something on EH insertion when
the status quo is that EH insertion is not allowed, and there does not
seem to be any indication that that will change anytime soon?
